Answer:
The substance is an element i.e. Carbon
Explanation:
1. Any carbon compound on heating in abundant oxygen produces some carbon dioxide *with some other substances*.
Eg: a) hydrocarbon on heating give carbon dioxide and water
b) metal carbonates decompose to give CO2 and metal oxide
2. The substance that produces only carbon dioxide is carbon
Carbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide
Because the question satisfies the reaction stated above, the substance is element carbon
